Two More Days for Paper Garden!

This is one of my last creations with the September Stamp of the Month from Close to My Heart.  I really wanted to show off a pop of one of the NEW colors, Poppy!

I used the Nevermore Papers...but you cannot even tell there are spiders on the Eggplant patterned paper, can you now?  (On a side note, I am making that appt. to get bifocals because I could not even see how crooked my matting was until I posted these pics!  Hello, 41.)

How awesomely unexpected is this pop of Poppy speckled with Bitty Sparkle Bling?

I am really catching on to the doodling craze, how about you?  I drew an outline around this banner cut from the NEW Cricut Artistry Collection and stamped a sentiment from the Cricut Artfully Sent Collections Stamps...

There are QUITE a few to choose from on here!

Loving these pretty blooms layered with foam tape...

Soooooo, please don't wait if you want to get your hands on the September Stamp of the month...because after tomorrow, it will be available Nevermore!!!!  ;)

I couldn't resist!  LOL!!!

Just TWO days left!!!

I am definitely not a Halloween person, so I chose to show you the softer side of this beautiful patterned paper in the packet...

This gorgeous bloom is one of the classic images in the September Stamp of the Month.  I stamped in three NEW Close to My Heart colors:  Eggplant, Fern, and Pomegranate.  Behind it run two strips of the new Silver Foil Tape!  I really love the metallic look mixed with the soft floral.  In order to give my flower some dimension, I used my stylus tool to create creases in the petals like this...

I used another image from the Stamp of the Month to create the background for my sentiment.  Then, I found this perfect sentiment on one of the National Stamping Month exclusive My Acrylix sets...

Bling required, of course!  I added some Silver Sequins and Silver Glitter Paper.
